A periwinkle house, a red door and two tiny details that absolutely had to make it into the painting.

The restaurant/brewery may be gone, but the memories live on in ink and watercolor.

The photos didn't quite tell the whole story, so I took a few creative liberties—and the mailboxes made the cut.

This adorable dog stopped to smell the flowers, and then I had figure out how to paint all of them.

A luxury Birmingham closing gift, with a little sunshine added because the reference photo wasn't bringing enough.

The building was very wide. The paper size was not. And somehow, I had to make them work.

It started with one very specific tote for my sister… until the “Where did you get that?!” questions started.

Equal parts retirement gift and architectural endurance test.

Some moments last about three seconds. Thankfully, watercolor lasts a lot longer.

A closing day commission that proved a white house is rarely as simple as it looks.

A watercolor keepsake of the place where two students met in The Windy City.

A moving day commission, turning home into a keepsake for the family long after the boxes are gone.

A coastal watercolor built around reflection, movement and changing light.

A custom watercolor house portrait created for closing day--and finished with just enough time to spare.

A childhood home, a garden in full bloom and one very determined little dog.

Proof that sometimes a photo doesn't show the best version of a place.

Coming in hot with a lake house portrait where the sky completely steals the show,

A sweet spot in Boston preserved in watercolor, where a first date became a lasting memory.

I mixed every green in my watercolor palette -- and then some -- for this one.

When a driveway full of trees tells a lifetime of stories.
